The check_hpasm plugin will automatically try to use sudo unless it is run as root. Add the following to your /etc/sudoers file: xyzuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/hpasmcli xyzuser ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/hpacucli Also, you need to disable "requiretty", i.e. comment out this line: Defaults requiretty That is all :) Cheers, -- Trond Hasle Amundsen <[email protected]> Center for Information Technology Services, University of Oslo Interestingly, I already had the above in my /etc/sudoers when I was getting the error. I tried to run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm as xyzuser and it prompted me for a password (apparently it was trying to use sudo on its own). Allowing /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm in /etc/sudoers to xyzuser and then defining the check_hpasm command in nrpe.cfg prefixed with sudo fixed the problem.
